Design strategy for outdoor leisure chairs based on parametric plant patterns using biobased materials

Abstract: To address the growing demand for sustainable, functional, and culturally aesthetic outdoor leisure chairs while enhancing their emotional and cultural significance, this study proposes a design strategy that integrates Kansei engineering with parametric derivation. Plant patterns derived from traditional Chinese artifacts were selected as the research subject, and their types and structural characteristics were systematically classified to construct a representative pattern library. The semantic differential method was employed to evaluate perceptual images and identify patterns consistent with the aesthetic values of outdoor furniture. By using parametric software, the shape of the pattern is simplified into functional holes, achieving lightweight and heat dissipation functions. Two conceptual designs for outdoor leisure chairs were realized using bio-based materials, resulting in reduced material use. The proposed designs were assessed using fuzzy evaluation methods, which yielded high satisfaction scores and validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.
